yes not hot-swappable; but they still can be replaced by soldering, so it's all good

just have fun with the board first. it's not that the switches will fail within short period of time.

By the way.. what is HOT-Swappable?? This one i really don't understand.
A different way to swap the switch?

yes, i think he needs to solder and desolder the switch in order to swap switches. i hope he realise that.

For a RM90 mkb, it is worth a shot. i would rather burn a rm90 pcb than a rm450 pcb.

me oso new user, but succesfully desolder an resolder 2 boards. n luckily the boards are still alive now.
the experience is nerve-wrecking, but fun if u r really into kibods. u need somewhere to start b4 u start purchasing those rm450 n above kibods.
heck, enthusiast dont play RM anymore. all USD. USD450 for a custom kibod, u dowan to burn that fosho. haha

this all come down how much u into kibods.
n im down deep.
just not deep enuff since im no 20k earner.

meaning the switches can be replaced on-the-fly, without soldering. just plug and play, like replacing key caps. there are already budget mkbs that have this feature.

Ohhhhhh.
So brother Chua means my keyboard's switch is not Hot-Swappable like easy-plug-n-play that already available in the market.
If i wanna replace the switch then i have to go through the complicated processes like unscrew, open cover, unmount switches, mount switches?? Did i get you right?? Let me know if i am wrong.

If that so.. I AM TRULY FINE WITH IT!! Because it's WORTH!! hahah!!

Your wish bro, its your kb, as long as you are happy Not only screwing, but soldering process. Need to have the older equipment too

Hahahaha!!! I really like your reply haha!!
Is okay man. My father used to repair electronic devices. Only 2 Key Things are required. Solder + Solder Gun.
No Problem!! Mechanical Keyboard is everything!!!

you're right. that's why just have fun with it

I think you are new here.. If you like mechanical Keyboard ==> GO FOR IT!!!!!!
Buy a cheap one with less than RM100 ==> but choose properly..

for more choices, please explore at taobao.

you can even get thin double-shot pbt full-104 key cap sets (oem profile) for like myr 30 without shipping. if you don't mind weird key legends, i think it's a good buy (functionally i mean; i have some, they are really pbt, but thin).

edit: a note - very affordable key cap sets at taobao usually come with less efforts in qc. in general they are functionally ok, but with various levels of minor defects here and there. it's really up to one's fault tolerance in terms of defects.

Thanks for your info. But i don't really trust the quality of Tao Bao, I had gone through the website.
Boss i wanna ask you a simple question (i think it is )
Is my keyboard able to install this since it is meant for Cherry MX keyboard ?? ==> Translucent Doubleshot ABS 106pcs KeyCaps For Cherry MX Keyboard Replace
Of course some of them might not fit like ESC and etc.. but as long as the normal one fit then okay already.

Taobao Quality is about the same as jmgaming. dont worry. essentially, you get what you paid for. pay rm20 get rm20 quality. taobao has good and moderate stuff.

bear in mind that diff rows, got diff profile.
so if u r buying single keys. make sure u got the right profile.
or maybe u can live w diff profile, its ur kibod afterall.

if u trust Lazada, u better trust TaoBao. TaoBao is better in my opinion.
but as in every online shopping, do ur research b4 u buy.
i oledy bought few cables from TaoBao, and all is still usable. no problems.

anyway i like ur enthusiasm on kibods.
good luck finding keys for ur kibod. i skip ur kibod bcoz of that weird layout. its cheap, but a headache to find replacement keys.

Still find it hard to believe TaoBao quality, because i ever paid RM50 and got RM39 quality. I also have a problem reading the "Chinese Terms" of the website.
Actually i browsed some of the items already. RM30 compared to lazada one. I found that the pictures provided is more trustable.
I know Tao Bao got good quality things for sure, but that website still not able to give me the confident.
Anyway.. If i really cant get it then i just go to Law Yat plaza to see whether there available or not.

Hahaha!! Ya, i believe my keyboard got weird layout haha!! No problem, I can get those Standard Keycaps are more than enough (don't have to be all of them).

i dunno weather u can get stuff from Low Yat plaza.
all my stuff are acquired thru 2nd hand stuff/personal sellers/or TaoBao. all is read, online.

Wa......
Then no choice already.. I have to try some cheap keycaps. if cannot use also nvm. Coz Cheap. Hahahaha!!
